Steven Seagal is the most handsome, talented and most of all, humble man on the planet according to Steven Seagal.

[@izidororaziel4918]

"commas".... Because... Why not?!

[@mantistoboggan5171]

I can't believe how much he stands in this film!

[@RedEyeReviews]

Ah the good old days

[@basp-ef7jx]

I like when he sits.

[@samcory6627]

I literally laughed the food out of my mouth when you said "GI Dough Boy". you sir, are a gift to all mankind. we only want SS to make more movies so we can watch your reviews.

[@RedEyeReviews]

Aww thank you!

[@MrSampson795]

I don’t know how many years it’s been, but I remember Steven flying in on a helicopter & landing at the AMC theater to premiere one of his movies. The gov proclaimed it “Steven Seagall Day” in Arizona 🤣😂

[@RedEyeReviews]

thats amazing

[@MrAstro7110]

Man this movie isn't really comparable to the other ones he did from around this time period. WAY better than all those surrounding it. I actually really enjoyed this one.

[@mrblonde609]

Same. Have seen it a couple of days ago. Would rate it 6/10 which for a DTV Seagal is a masterpiece.

[@The40Glock1]

Nonetheless still hilarious

[@ktitwayne-leeakabane1345]

That mini bossfight was with Ken Lo who was Jackie Chan's ex-bodyguard and part of his stunt team. He also was the main baddie in Drunken Master 2. Great video btw,I am hooked 🙂🍻🍻

[@zigmondbonez9411]

I'm starting to believe Seagal just wears his regular clothes on set Idk why but that line "are you crazy? Yeah I'm crazy" I cldnt help but laugh at that

[@eduardopena5893]

His buddy that gets killed in the first part of the movie is NFL star running back Eddie George.

[@RedEyeReviews]

Oh snap! Great catch!

[@nextabe1]

This is my current favorite Seagal. The way every new character starts off by praising Seagal's character in like every scene. Black tank top moves

[@biodynamic91]

Dude, I've been binging your Seagal content like crazy lol... Great job man! I like your style, you're a funny guy with great delivery, if you can keep this up long enough I'm sure your channel will get the visibility it deserves.

[@RedEyeReviews]

Thank you so much! I have been loving making these videos and am so happy to have found the little community I have already found. I really appreciate the kind words :) let me know if there are any movies you want me to look at

[@themilkman8554]

@@RedEyeReviews How do you make he commentary? Do you record as you watch the movie and then take the best clips/commentary, or do you watch it, go back through it and THEN record your thoughts?

[@lastsamurai4710]

Hey man I just subscribe really appreciate your content keep it up

[@RedEyeReviews]

Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel :) if there are any movies you want me to go over, please let me know!

[@RobinJohnstonphotography]

You can see where they got the fighting style in Team America. Wave your hands really fast Steve, we’ll make up the name of the choreographer later.

[@kyleolson8977]

While Seagal had doing a lot of straight-to-video stuff by this point, I always thought this was a clear step down because even though this wasn't the worst filme he had done, this was the first film where the box art looked completely amatuer, something most mockbusters would be embarrassed to have on the shelf. But hey, the movie has William Atherton. It can't be all bad.

[@MrGuitarforyou]

Honestly this is one that I could watch all the way through at least it entertained me lol

[@seekforjannah2432]

This may sound crazy I watched this movie 3 times and I can say this is the best seagal movie ever 1 seagal had humar he was funny 2 great acting 3 great fight scenes 4 beautiful supporting actress 5 get to see seagal fight in the jungle so it had rambo 2 intro feel to it 5 great story line 6 first ever time you see seagal happy in a seagal movie so what's your response

[@RedEyeReviews]

I can agree! I thought this was pretty good. And the man did actually smile several times. I'll have to make my top Seagal movie list soon

[@TheBest-sd2qf]

@@RedEyeReviews It's better than under siege 1+2? or out for justice?

[@popo-yq5je]

That zoom in gold emblen. Cracked me up..lmao

[@armitagehawkshaw]

I think the "sushi" line was referring to the *quality* of their sushi, not the mere fact that it was sushi. He was bagging on their Lawson Station take-out sushi (which admittedly in real life isn't *that* awful).

[@djcease1996]

*Into The Sun* was his best work since *Exit Wounds*.

[@RedEyeReviews]

I really did enjoy this movie. It's a typical Seagal flick but it is pretty watchable. The sword fighting is great.

[@eduardopena5893]

@@RedEyeReviews Isn't there a scene in this movie where a Japanese guy is in his shop and refers to Steven as a Master of knowing all things about Japanese swords? The scene transitions in this movie are also pretty crazy and the music is terrible generic royalty free rock music.

[@AZTigerMMA]

I love these KZbin videos, this channel is doing a bang up job. The problem is once you’re older and you actually no real operators this guy gives them a bad name.

[@MrDrBlahh]

The hell, just noticed you arent even at 2k subscribers yet. Honestly thought you had at least 100k. Keep it up man, these reviews are hilarious

[@RedEyeReviews]

Thank you so much! We are really starting to build some momentum. So hopefully one day we will get there :)

[@Lyricaldeamin]

Now ur at 5k

[@adam_williamk8280]

What's better than one Segal? A flock of Seagulls? "No doubt this has been mentioned many times, but love it"

[@parisgreen4600]

I kind of like the funky '70s music. And the epic slap-fight at 6:20!

[@louiseevans1356]

Thought I'd seen all of seagal's movies,but watching this brilliant channel I have missed quite a few,must catch up

[@ashtton_tapiwa]

3:08 Damn you and your impeccable comedic timing! Nearly spit out tea onto my keyboard when you said "good call" to Steven suggesting they sit down instead.

[@p101bgb9]

Black Belt in "Sitting Downte". Great Masta, he is 🤣

[@blackblurable]

I’ve been binging your content. I had to subscribe because your videos are awesome

[@strawbarry7834]

So glad you made this series so we can watch as Steven slowly inflates over time like the biggest Macy's Day balloon you've ever seen.

[@bradleyr.6385]

Damn his partner that died with all the blood in his teeth at the beginning was the 1995 Heisman Trophy winner & former NFL RB, Eddie George.

[@404originalitynotfound2]

@3:28 The dubbed voice is certainly questionable but its neat to me because the version I watched had her speaking Japanese, with the English subtitles. So, the fact two versions exist is interesting.

[@user-ss3wb8he7h]

From what country are you from?

[@thanosprime6603]

He still had them fast hands in this one. It doesn't look too bad.

[@ob160]

One of the actresses was the gang memeber girl from Kill Bill Vol 2

[@ongkhuongduy3498]

It is nice of Seagal to give us a clue of what to do with the rest of his acting career.

[@KidFresh71]

I am totally enjoying binging on your Seagall-fest. You are so funny and good at what you do! Maybe complete the Keanu filmography, including the John Wick & Matrix movies?

[@RedEyeReviews]

Thanks friend! Glad you enjoy it

[@deadpoolguy283]

What baffles me most about this movie is that they had Chiaki Kuriyama (Gogo Yubari from Kill bill) who is not just an actress but also a gymnast and they did NOTHING with her! Hell, she could have been a sidekick or a villain with her moves. See: Kill Bill

[@mwont]

Just found your channel and immediately subed by seeing how many seagal movies you have😊

[@RedEyeReviews]

Thank you very much! Buckle up! We are doing them all haha

[@laurencefrese1]

Love you videos. Will you do one showing all the extras or supporting actors who keep reappearing in his movies? I think I've seen the same actors as a bad guy in this movie and a good guy in that movie.

[@b-rye428]

Review all his movies that would be awesome

[@RedEyeReviews]

Yes sir!

[@MOONSUN4Life]

5:36 I completely share your ambivalence about the living crustacean vending machines... I remember when Gordon Ramsay brought in a living lobster vending machine in one episode of Kitchen Nightmares, and I simply didn't know how to feel about it. 7:21 That's not fake blood, that's an allergic reaction. Whether it's from an allergy to sushi or to Steven Seagal's toupet is debatable. 9:21 G.I. Doughboy 🤣🤣🤣 Nailed it! 9:23 That is some top tier creepy smile right there... Triggered traumatic flashbacks of Jabba the Hutt and Princess Leia

[@RedEyeReviews]

Lol right?! Such a weird idea for a vending machine and no way can it be sanitary

[@obychnyichelovek6757]

Watched it few years ago and only enjoyed it for it's japanese parts since foreign languages is my passion. It really fails to build the tension, Seagal's could've/should've start killing the bad guys long before he actually did since he knew who they are and he's invincible anyway

[@RedEyeReviews]

Agreed. The Japanese gangster had the best scenes. If it was just a movie with them it could have been alot better

[@IkeisBoredBR]

That property damage bit was really funny, i liked it alot, i would applaud if i could... i can, i just wont, but i could Common man, break something else! ...yeah...

[@RedEyeReviews]

Lol he just loves to do it

[@erikpranckunas4286]

I like that you don't have sponsors yet :D

[@VideoJamesShow]

RedEye, did you know that in Gamera Guardian of the Galaxy the teenage lead is Steven's daughter? Check it out.

[@RedEyeReviews]

Oh snap! I knew she did some acting but I had no idea.

[@dusanmiljkovic7479]

korota, such original name for karatist movie in japan, and that's a gold for karate corner and for us karate kids as well.

[@4g63t8]

I wonder if he visited his Japanese kids while he filmed it. Either way, this is an excellent dark comedy.

[@TAITheAsian]

GI DOUGH BOOOIII. That first scene of seagal in his doo rag and black outfit along with his AK with its odd ass flame effect on the front really just makes him look like some Viet Cong dude. Steven Seagal as an Operator type actor dude is just so odd with how his movie career evolved. I'm excited for the next installation in the series Submerged which I think I've managed to see on Amazon prime. World's best Mercenary though, there has to be a big roster list of B-movie mercenaries to compare Seagal to that would trump him given his well, shlocky operator action bits.

[@RedEyeReviews]

Lol I have to admit I made myself laugh when I wrote G.I. Dough Boy. For real though. His character just wears whatever he showed up to set in. And that doorag must be glued to his head at this point, because he rarely takes it off these days. I can't wait for Submerged. You make the 4th person to tell me about that movie being one they have actually seen. Thanks again for all your support friend :)

[@BrokenMedic]

How did you miss the zoom in scene. “Do you see that golden emblem around his neck? Can you zoom in on that?” It was a black and white video.

[@Omerta2times]

Love this whole series lol

[@clausjuergenwalde7251]

"We maybe can fix blood in post"..."We couldn't fix blood in post."

[@aril7527]

This movie was popular in japan

[@RedEyeReviews]

This movie was fairly decent and everyone that wasn't Seagal did pretty good lol

[@BlueLizardKing]

I don't know about Shawn the rookie cop. I think "Yeah, well, I don't exist" is a pretty amazing comeback.

[@ronincomix]

top o' the KiYAi!! to you sir...his best singing voice performance!!! Still reminds me of my least favorite vocal artist ,Jacob Dylan from The Wallflowers..sheeeeesh

[@RedEyeReviews]

And to you! Lol

[@dongargon763]

Steve must hold the record for the most movies with top billing while working the least amount of shoot days for each movie also the most sitting on screen this millennium

[@RedEyeReviews]

He probably is right up there.

[@jekw23]

Don’t let Bruce Willis hear you say that!

[@markula_4040]

It's about time one of these Seagal films had a title that at least played into the movie a little bit. So many of them just seemed to have a generic sounding action title spat out by a machine.

[@werefiveintokyo1002]

Your videos are fun! Just a small note: 「ヤクザ」isn't pronounced "ya-kooza"...but the proper pronunciation is closer to "yak'za"

[@RedEyeReviews]

Oooo thank you so much. I had no idea

[@nodojoavailable]

"Shall we walk a bit?" C'mon lady, who tf do you think you're talking to!?

[@itachi-kun7736]

although Seagal had many bad movies, this one is pretty watchable and I liked it along with Submerged and Belly from the beast even his stunts are so obvious

[@RobinJohnstonphotography]

Why are the Yakuza talking in English? This is really breaking my usual formidable suspension of disbelief in Steve movies.

[@RedEyeReviews]

Lol right!?

[@leonunesss]

I saw this movie in the biggest channel in a Sunday night here in Brazil 😂

[@Sillyworld82]

I'm calling the actual Segal fights "the slappening" from now on 😅

[@antonmatous253]

That guy in the chopper is Eddie George from the Tennessee Titans lol

[@TheGodshatter]

This is when the bandanna truly became part of the scenery.

[@rockdesu]

Only reason I watched this movie... Because Japan. Only reason I turned it off after 30 minutes.... Because Seagal. Steven Seagal teaches patty cake patty cake as a martial art. I did end up watching the whole movie it was just ok better than the other movies that's for sure.

[@aname7721]

whoa HITOMI was in this movie? How did I not notice her?!?

[@ksalphalcsihp1252]

Unique Fact : Chiaki Kuriyama also known as Gogo Yubari (Kill Bill), in this movie (Into the Sun) she played as Ayako the Nayako's sister. But her existence is neither lol.... That's why it's WEIRD!!!

[@zipzipzommin4329]

That's Eddie George 🤣🤣🤣

[@1alsturgeon]

Little known fact about this movie, it was Seagals last to require him running!

[@JaneSmith-so6hw]

They killed Matthew Davis of Legally Blonde, Blue Crush, and Urban Legends: Final Cut fame.. I'm good on mentioning his tv shows.. But, DAMN.. I need a time stamp for when Dave Matthews dies. One of my favorites on the silver screen.

[@gzz8551]

I don’t appreciate you besmirching this great mans masterpieces. I mean, I haven’t seen it but….still.

[@lm4585]

Hahaha well mushrooms usually have something interesting to say. I'd hear them out lol.

[@EAScotti]

Wait is that All Pro running back Eddie George that Steven is in the helicopter with?! Then again football players find themselves in films like this ALL the time

[@RedEyeReviews]

I didn't realize that but yes it actually is. Good catch! I thought Seagal only did movies with rappers and wrestlers

The cover is hilarious. They carelessly pasted a picture of an AR with M203 on him, and he doesn't ever use one in the movie.

[@dontcare7086]

I consider myself a aging martial arts comedic review aficionado but after watching this movie just now I am really struggling. They had a few great moments like segal pretending to speak Japanese and dubbing it in and a sound track that sounded like a bootleg blade movie soundtrack but this was just bad. Usually it's so bad it's good. I have a minimum of 20 of his movies from after 92 when he stopped making decent movies under my belt and this might be the worst yet. He generally doesn't even bother acting in them and the stunt doubles half his weight tend to be a good laugh but he seemed to put some effort into this movie. This one has me struggling to find the comedic aspects of how bad it is. Edit: I forgot to mention the really bad cgi government technology scenes. Those made me laugh.

[@RedEyeReviews]

I would agree! Occasionally these later movies have moments in them where I think "oh, he isn't terrible in this scene" but usually that feeling is short lived

[@dontcare7086]

@@RedEyeReviews what I mean is compare this to sniper special ops. That movie is hilarious and steven sits in a chair for 90% of his screen time. He says all of nothing after someone else speaks to him in emotional manner. He limp wristedly holds the assault rifle and doesn't even bother aiming. That makes it hilarious because it is so bad. Compared to that movie his performance here is Academy award winning. He put more effort into this role then I ever expected. It took the comedic value out of the film for me and it just ended up being really bad.

[@RedEyeReviews]

@@dontcare7086 yeah that makes for a rough comparison haha. But I agree

[@geofff.3343]

You know, I will never get over Seagal's silly slap fighting. Whether or not you think traditional martial arts would be effective doesn't really matter. I've seen dedicated kung-fu practitioners fight dedicated karate practitioners in serious competition. It looks way better than whatever Seagal did to that miniboss. Seriously, it had the same energy as a kid in his first fight on the playground.
